I am re-posting this from September 2011 .

Jane
Nelson, who died on August 1 aged 95, was a gifted gardener,
indefatigable charity worker and a prize-winning breeder of Highland
cattle at her estate in Argyllshire.

Extract: On
December 30 1933 Jane, her sister Kathleen and their father saw the
Loch Ness monster. In Jane’s own words: “We were driving along Loch Ness
looking for it one very stormy day when suddenly I saw two bumps
sticking out of the water, so we all got out to look at it. Luckily we
had some field glasses, and we watched it for 40 minutes swimming around
in the loch. More and more bumps kept appearing until we finally saw
nine, and then it began swimming away more quickly; but it was snowing
so hard by this time that we lost sight of it.” The sighting was reported with
some excitement in the Inverness Courier. Jane thought she saw the
monster on another occasion a few years later, although it was a less
convincing event: “This time only one huge bump was sticking out and was
going very fast across the loch.”

Loch Ness Monster FOUND at last? Astonishing new photo of Nessie

A WHISKY warehouse worker has taken a picture of what could be one of the most convincing Loch Ness Monster sightings to date.

Amateur photographer Ian Bremner,
58, was driving around the Highlands in search of red deer - but
stumbled instead across the remarkable sight of what appears to be
Nessie swimming in the calm waters of Loch Ness.
The father-of-four spends most of his weekends in the region taking photographs of the stunning natural beauty.
But
it was not until he got back to his home in Nigg, Invergordon, that he
noticed three humps emerging from the water which he thinks could be the
elusive monster.

Vermont Navy Veteran Captures Video of ‘Champ’ Monster

The owner of the video, a 33-year-old Navy veteran and IT student who
provided a full name but asked to remain anonymous, told Cryptozoology
News that the sighting took place back in late July.
” I had placed a motion activated camera trap at the water’s edge. At
4:00 a.m., in the darkness, it recorded video of an unusual animal,” he
said.
The 31-second-long video file, which he titled Champ 2016,
shows footage taken by two different cameras in a split screen
containing something floating or swimming through the dark water.

Hunt is on for terrifying monster lurking in the depths of the Humber River

Humber Monster Watch has launched a campaign to track down the creature.

The hunt is on to track down the "Humber Monster", a terrifying sea
creature said to have a head the size of an elephant, six humps and
flashing eyes.
Historian Mike Covell, from Humber Monster Watch,
is heading the campaign which aims to track down the creature ahead of
Hull being crowned UK City of Culture in 2017.
Speaking to The Express, he said: "Throughout the 1920s, trawlermen
from Hull had reported strange sightings of a creature in the Humber and
the North Sea.
"In 1923, a Hornsea school teacher was swimming off the coast when he was attacked by an unknown sea creature."
Throughout
the 1920s, the Humber Monster terrorised the city's residents, with
sightings of the beast filling the pages of the local press. It was said
the beast, with its gargantuan head and oddly shaped body, could travel
faster than 100mph.
According to the Hull Daily Mail, in 1934,
Thomas Atkinson suffered a frightening encounter with the monster. He
had been on the shores of the river with his wife and children when he
spotted a black creature swimming in the water. It had turned towards
the family and reportedly stared at them with "eyes the size of
portholes" until they fled in horror.

Has Nessie had kids? Incredible new snaps capture TWO Scottish monsters

A DAD is convinced he captured TWO Loch Ness monsters at large.
Ian Campbell, 56, was on a bicycle ride with his son and a friend when he saw two gigantic "creatures" swimming across Loch Ness.

The beasts' eerie resemblance with the Nessies stunned the dad, from Taynuilt in Argyll, Scotland.

The council regulatory officer said: "At the time we saw it we had
stopped for a rest and to admire the view. It seemed to appear suddenly
from nowhere.
"I said to my son: 'What is that in the water?' He said to me that it looked like a big animal.
"I was saying to my son that we had just seen the Loch Ness monster."
